Bought Euros
Went in Asda money exchange yesterday got £614.95 changed into 700 euros. When I got home I checked on line (as I was just curious) the exchange rate. Well lo and behold I was short changed by 19 euros. So take my advice and stay well away from Asda exchange, “cowboys” I felt cheated they are very dishonest, and would certainly never recommend them to anyone.

Bought £2,000 worth of Saudi riyals
Got my travel money today at the Burnley store and had the best experience due to the wonderful Naheed as she was very helpful and friendly and put all my worries at ease, she gave me the best rate possible and also informed me when to come to make sure I get my money on time before going on holiday. She made my experience very stress free and I real appreciate her customer service skills as they were on point and she knew how to leave her customers satisfied with her service. Her knowledge about the exchanges were really impressive as it helped me to understand certain things and also she answered a lot of my questions. Would highly recommend her as she has the best customer service skills you could possibly have ThankYou Naheed.

Bought £1,000 worth of Canadian dollars
I always use the travel money bureau in clayton green, its handy when I go for shopping, the staff are lovely and theres been a lady who has been there years and serves me a lot, she always gives excellent advice on places to go to as she travels a lot so has a lot of knowledge, its worth going just for that but she is so friendly too and patient, when I had an issue with my travel money card she rang card services and issued me with a replacement card as mine wasnt working, I was worried but she sorted it out, the rates are good and I will always use this store for my currency.

Ordered a currency card
Topped up the Money Card in UK with UAE Dirhams. I am in Abu Dhabi on holiday and so far the card has been rejected for payment in a Restaurant and Supermarket within 2 days since arrival here. Very embarrasing experience all round. Contacted customer service and was told it is my fault as i should ask the shops and other places if they accept pre paid money card before i make a purchase and attempt to use the card as payment. Will be cancelling card when i get home. Not worth the grief when card repeatedly rejected as payment.

Bought US dollars
I have just discovered that Asda travel money charge a monthly fee for no transactions! The remainder of my balance has now been dwindled to zero and Asda have taken all my money off the card for not using it. They won’t refund it as this is apparently in the T&Cs. DO NOT USE THEM!

It has been problematic using this card and I will never use Asda again for this service. It has been declined in several places in Majorca and it’s embarrassing when it is declined. Declined amounts still show up as pending!!!

Due to a wrong pin at a cash point and declined payments at the table ordering food these ‘declined’ transaction go on your card as pending and will not go back to your card until 7 days later . I couldn’t access my money whilst on holiday due to this ! Never ever again AVOID AVOID AVOID. It will ruin your holiday and customer service is awful … a complete waste of time !

Appalling customer service. Cost more in fees and time. Had to use an alternative card which fortunately I had taken abroad with me. Will not use again

Bought £200 worth of Euros
Went to Asda in Spondon, Derby. Exchanged 200 pound for euros. No questions asked, nothing explained. When i got home I found out that the lady charge me for exchange fees. How can you charge someone without explanation? Will never use their service ever again.

Bought travel money
Ordered local currency for Barbados. Ordered on Monday and told it would be a few days and we would be phoned. Not heard anything so went in Friday - going away next Thursday, nothing arrived. Telephone call Saturday afternoon to say they can’t get any! Very unreliable!

Bought £50 worth of Euros
Got my travel money card today, and it was a piece of cake with the help of Millie in the Spondon branch. Any worries were put at ease, so helpful in how to setup it up and knowing how I can use the card when aboard. I was really happy with the service provided.
